went there to meet Mr. Tsukigi of tsukigi racing again. he was in the states for a few days and he brought us this super tasty "satsuma imo shouchu" (distilled spirits made with sweet potatoes) with Kawasaki W label. with great people, delish food and shouchu we had too much and had to sleep in the car for a couple hours before we drove back...happy happy times :) oh, by the way, shouchu very rarely causes hangovers.

N goes to salt flats in australia every year with his friend Brett DeStoop who became the first man in australia go faster than 230mph on a sit-down motorcycle, suzuki GT750 2 stroke, in 2010. we gotta go check the salt in australia soon!!

our friend H stopped by so we forced him to ride the SR. he came back after a while and said "OMG, feel sooo good!"ふらりと遊びに来たHを無理やり自慢のSRに乗せる。しばらくして戻ってきたHは、「気持ちいぃぃ！」と爽快な笑顔。よしよし。

rode to photographer Zap's house to show off the SR. he tried on, came back after a while and said "OMG, feel sooo good!"ついでに写真家Zップ氏の家まで押しかけて、自慢のSRを披露。ちょっと乗りに行って戻って来たZップ氏も「気持ちいいねぇぇ！」と爽快な笑顔。よしよし。

Tetsumi Mitsuyasu is a long time friend of photographer Zap's and was japan national motocross champion in late '70s and won the world championship in 1980. he's still riding after his retirement as a professional rider in 1998. Zap and Tetsumi used to ride and practice motocross when they were teenagers... can't believe Zap was once a teenager... :)if you know him, you know what i mean.
